Hey all, just read about this on Gizmodo. As of yesterday, AirSync can sync music to your Xbox or Ps3 to play over wifi. This is very exciting news to me because now I dont have to have a crappy usb plugged in all the time. It warns that it might not be compatable with some htc devices but it works on my g2 so im not complaining. Not sure about the Ps3 but on the Xbox all you have to do is go to music library and it should show up as something to play on besides the HDD. Very useful. Enjoy

Edit: Forgot to mention you can view photos and videos(if their in the right format) too!!
Very nice, I should try it now. Thanks for the post!

I just spent 10 minutes trying to get my G2 ps3 doubletwist connection working without success. Let me know if there is any special step I might be missing. I searched for media server with no success. Also my auto sync with my desktop doesn't seem to work all the way. It only copied a few videos but no pictures. I only have it set up to sync from my phone to pc.
Mine has sometimes stopped working too. Since I have no ps3 I can't tell you what to do there but just try restarting everything. Did you make sure airtwist is on? Open doubletwist music player > settings > airtwist. If it is checked try toggling it off then on
how to for ps3
Hey im doing this on a note 2 but to connect it to the ps3 turn on airtwist and go to your ps3, search for a media server and just connect to it

I don't need it because I know a way to use the wifi network to share your media libraries and stream the media to your phone. It's way better. I also can do it through Bluetooth.
So it can access the files anywhere? Cause this would be awesome to use with my Epic. I got alot of videos and music on my laptop. So if I was on my 3G network, I can wirless stream my music and videos?
No, wifi and Bluetooth only.

and forgot to mention in the desktop dversion of pogoplug you can check an option to have your ps3 and your xbox 360 discover the music and videos and whatever else you may have on your external/s
How exactly does it work? Is there a server?

It works as a virtual drive. I have one and it is very useful in the house since I dont have to connect my hardrive to anything in order to access it. another useful thing i do with is transfer files...my brother has the password to it so he downloaded the desktop plugin. Now whenever we want to show each other a movie or song...we just copy and paste the file onto the virtual drive like we would a folder on our computer and we have full access to the newly uploaded content...
the only draw back is in playback of your movies and music when not on the same network...it takes a while to load, and you have to deal with constant buffering.

i dont have any troubles with buffering personally, i watch stuff at work from my hard drive at home without any troubles.
I know xda has some gamers out there so I have a question. I'm trying to share media from my phone to my 360. This used to be possible on sense roms before Xbox received that last dashboard update that messed with the usb settings. In the past you could use your phone mount it and your Xbox would let you share music and photos via USB. I haven't been on a sense rom in a long time so I don't know if it still works. When I mount my phone (USB) the Xbox picks it up as "portable drive" and lets me scroll the contents but choosing music just hangs. I tried this app called "Twonky Media server" which lets you wirelessly stream music to your Xbox it works perfect but I'm trying to do it via usb because it lags my game sometimes. Can someone on a sense rom with an Xbox let me know if you share music via usb? Anyone try this with cm7 because I can't get it to work!
Anyone lol?
im not sure exactly what its suppose to do i thought it would stream media on my devices to like my laptop or ps3 back and forth and vice versa but its not working or so it seems
has anyone been able to get it to work and know exactly what it is this does? im on a htc trophy
Yes it is to stream media to or from a device..... I have used it a few times to test it out and it works nice with xbmc ..... With windows 7 you can use windows media player click the tab on top stream and make sure media stream with work group is on and you should be good to go..... On connected media you can slide tab and change output to phone ect.....
i cannot find my htc trophy on my ps3 when i search for media servers only my laptop shows on the ps3
when i go to the htc connected app videos show up but no music i can play the movies on the phone but i cant play music or pick up any pictures from the computer on the phone i dont know why
and on the ps3 i cant pick up my htc trophy at all
Hi All,
Does Xperia Play support DLNA, because I see it as listed in gsmarena but nothing in Google on how to configure and stream via DLNA.
Anyone tried it and use DLNA to stream video / game / photos.
The phone is awesome but lack to HDMI or TV Out means the only option is to stream via DLNA if it supports, can someone confirm.

We have an app called Media Server ("Servidor de Medios" for me) and I believe it let's you play movies/music/images. I haven't tried it once since I stream directly from my PC to my PS3.
But forget about games, it's been discussed a lot that people is disappointed because we can't play our games in a bigger screen.
So yes, we have DLNA but it won't let you stream your screen. It'll let other devices connect to it and play media files on your phone.
Hi netorino,
Thanks for the reply, so we can stream movies and photos is it, that is still good enough.
Where I can try this app, I couldn't find it in the Android market.
I would want to try this and see how it works.

It's pre-installed. I'm not 100% sure on the english name but that should be it.
The way I do it on PC-PS3: Activate software on PC to let streaming. Go on PS3 and look for videos and search for new devices (every time) then it'll show me the hard drive and I'll browse through the folders.
I'm thinking it's the same thing. Open the software on the phone to activate it, it'll probably have some instructions on what to do. Hope it works for you!

You were right, it's just called media server
@maddy- which version of the play do you have?
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
Mine is Xperia Play R800i, it does not have either "Media Server" installed.
Is it only available in the US versions?
BTW, mine is an Unlocked from UK and running 2.3.4.

Used to be called Media Server (in 2.3.3) but now - for me at least on an unbranded/sim-free UK R800i on 2.3.4 - look for an App installed called Connected Devices
We can also stream to our phones (from say a WD TV Live, or a PC) - use "ES File Explorer" (lan - and search for your WD's IP) and stream via "VPlayer".
I use this method to stream .mkv files from my WD TV Live in my living room via my router to watch movies on my phone in my bedroom - works great .
The only issue I have is that vplayer is not free, and you can't stream via MoboPlayer (I don't think it buffers, it tries to download the whole movie). So if anyone knows any free media player that lets you strem (buffer) .mkv files then let me know.
I you want to stream from your phone to another device there are various free apps you can use; BubbleUPNP, Connected devices (preinstalled), and softMedia player
Thanks
there is a Connected Devices thing, I will give it a try today.
Try this http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...our-images-in-a-big-screen-with-vscreens-com/
but you can only view images and videos..
It is great, but if the TV does not have the WiFi then it wont work fine, but for Laptop and to stream to desktop computers this is great indeed.
How many people have used the Smart Share feature?? I did the other day to stream a movie to my tv.
I will say that it was freaking AWESOME! Now I have streamed using my computer, DTV Box, my tv, Blu ray,
Xbox, and even my Ps3. None seemed to be as easy and flawlessly as running it from my LGOG. I even did
it a few times with MHL and my Evo lte. I can play, pause, ff using my tv remote, hell I believe I multitasked
on the phone while the tv was still playing the movie without one hiccup.
This phone is Awesome!!!
I want to try that but my tv doesn't use DLNA glad it's so smooth though!
